Volume 1, Desperate Lands 077, The Pocratic Oath
"Here, don't wait for me to mutate before shooting, I'm no longer me by then. You must kill me before I mutate, when I am still me, then I know I am not a zombie. ”
"I've seen a movie that says if you shoot me in the back of the head and I open my mouth, the bullet can come out of my mouth so that it doesn't hurt my face."
"I've been here, don't think too much about me in the future. Since you were a child, you have actually been bullied by me, and now you can finally be free. If you have the chance, find me a more reliable sister-in-law, your previous aesthetic vision was too disturbing. ”
"I've been here, don't cry so much, I'm a girl, okay?"
"Have you been, where is Li Hao?"
"What else are you asking that bastard for? After tying you up, that bastard won't know where to run, even if he's afraid that you'll mutate, he doesn't have to hide so far, right? In vain, I still think of him as a reliable brother. ”
"Hehe, he's saved us a few times, do you think he's the kind of person who is afraid of a zombie that's about to mutate? He probably saw me and thought of the guy on his USB stick. Everyone who has lived until now must have a story of ups and downs, and I think his story must be very unforgettable. ”
"It's all this time, and you're still speaking for him?"
"Been here...... Elder brother...... I feel like I'm dying, I can't see you clearly, everything I see is red, and my head is so heavy, I can't hold it anymore...... Brother, you can do it......"
"I don't! From small to large...... You haven't called it...... I...... Brother, I still want to ...... Listen to you...... Again...... Scream for a while......" The tears on his face flowed more, and his voice became intermittent, and when a 25-year-old man sobbed with tears, his grief was so deep that he was trembling all over.
At this time, Lai Xi raised her head with difficulty, and in her blurred vision, there was another figure, a figure that she had known for a short time, but was already very familiar. I didn't want to say anything to him, but when I saw this figure, Laixi already showed a smile on his blue face.
Then, she heard a shout: "What did you inject her?" ”
She didn't remind her of the shooting, and those things were not in her hands. She just took advantage of the fact that she could still see things and take a second look at the world she was familiar with.
Then, her consciousness blurred.
She herself did not know how long her consciousness went from vague to completely absent, then from completely absent, to vague, and then to gradually clear again. However, when she fully regained consciousness and opened her eyes, she found herself lying on the plush bed on the top floor again.
When she opened her eyes for a while, she couldn't remember not only when she lost consciousness, but also many things before. Then she instinctively wanted to move, but found that it was very laborious to move a finger, and it took a long time...... Of course, this may be a long time, but it may actually be just a few seconds...... Then one of her hands was raised, and when she wanted to move again, or even sit up, a figure grabbed her, followed by a familiar voice and cried.
"Oh my god, you're finally awake!"
Laixi smiled bitterly, although he was very weak, but habitually said: "I am your sister, not my mother." ”
"Hahahaha...... Ahahahaha...... It's really you! It's really you! Come on, you're my sister, you're okay, you're back! ”
Laixi looked at the man who was crying and laughing beside him...... No, it's just a big boy, and it's a little helpless. Now, in addition to her memory being a little blank, she also feels very weak and has an obvious sense of prostration. After I came to feed her a glass of water, my stomach burned badly.
When I asked, I realized that I had been in a coma for three days.
As her physical condition gradually recovered, Laixi's memories also recovered a little, and she was finally able to recall that she was scratched by a zombie hiding inside just after they found the cargo hold on the cruise ship.
And then what?
Then Laixi listened to the chatter about how he stayed by her side for three days and three nights, and it is estimated that he let him go and say that he could still talk in his ear for three days and three nights. Fortunately, Li Hao came in at this time, and when he saw Li Hao, he remembered a core question: "So, I'm not infected?" ”
Li Hao pulled a chair and sat on the edge of the bed and said, "The infection must be infected, but there was no mutation later." I got a syringe from the ship's infirmary and injected my blood into your body...... I was also infected, but I can't tell what the reason is, but I didn't mutate after being infected, and it took about three days or so for me to recover after I collapsed from a continuous high fever. ”
"I've analyzed it." After coming to the major he studied, it finally became normal, he also pulled a chair and sat next to him, adding: "When Li Hao injected his blood into your body, I didn't think it would work, in the professional knowledge we have learned, even if his blood contains detoxification ingredients, it needs to be made into serum, not directly injected." But at that time, there was no condition, and there was no way, in fact, the blood types of the two of you could not match at all, and in the end it was successful, which can only be said to be a medical miracle. But when we think that the virus itself surpasses our original expertise, this miracle has its plausibility. ”
Laixi exhaled a long breath, drank another glass of salt and sugar water that had been prepared for her, and said, "You are a doctor, and it is your business to explore the pathology." I'm just a nurse, and now that I'm alive again, I just have to be happy. ”
came and said: "I kept your blood after infection, the mixed blood after injecting Li Hao's blood, your blood after recovery, as well as Li Hao's own blood and the body fluids of the zombies outside, but unfortunately there is no blood before Li Hao's infection, the medical equipment on the ship is not bad, there is a freezer that can be used to preserve medical samples, relying on rechargeable batteries for power supply, and in the case of normal power supply, samples can be well preserved." All of this is meaningless if we can't find the relevant equipment to analyze these samples, and if we can't study the sample analysis report further. ”
"So," Lai Xi looked at his brother calmly, and asked half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Do you want to go back to land immediately, find a hospital, study samples, and save the world?" ”
He asked with a serious face, "Can you still break the Hippocratic oath?" ”
Laixi smiled bitterly and asked, "Do you want me to memorize Chinese, or English, or Greek?" ”
He recited it solemnly: "Relying on the god of medicine, Apollo Escrebis and the gods of heaven and earth, I solemnly swear that I will keep this covenant according to my own ability and judgment...... When I was still asked to keep the above oath, I asked God to grant me the supreme glory of my life and medical skills. ”
Lai Xi shook his head and said, "Here, we stay on this ship, maybe we can live for a year and a half, if we return to land, we may be zombies immediately...... Or to put it another way, the infected, the mutant, are bitten to death by them, and eaten. The oath we recite when we graduate is to save the sick, not to send ourselves to death. ”
Lai once said seriously: "I know that in your eyes, I have always been an unreliable brother, a boy who doesn't grow up, and an unrealistic idealist, but come on, no matter whether the world is destroyed or not, we always have to do something we can do to prove that we are not destroyed." If we're just hiding in this boat and waiting for a possible opportunity to pass by, what's the difference between us and those mutants? ”
"In my eyes." Laixi looked at Laiguo, sighed, patted the edge of the bed, motioned Laiguo to sit next to her, and then took his arm and sat up slowly, leaned his head on his brother's shoulder, and said, "In my eyes, you have always been my brother." ”
In a word, my eyes filled with tears. He clearly remembered that although his sister had called him "here and over" since he was a child, she finally called him brother when she was scratched and at the heartbreak moment when he thought she was going to mutate.
However, just when Laiguo was too moved, Laixi raised his head and looked at Li Hao and asked, "Li Hao, let me ask you a question." Do you think my brother, he can find a real girlfriend? ”
Li Hao snorted, he thought that Laixi would ask him if he liked the idea of coming, to be honest, he was a little indifferent.
He wasn't so idealistic before, and he was still thinking about studying samples to save the world or something, and he felt that even if the world was destroyed, it would not be wrong for him to hide aside and survive, but if he asked him if he wanted to save the world with his brother and sister, he actually didn't reject it.
It just doesn't matter anyway.
However, he didn't expect to ask such an unreliable question, which was a little inconsistent with her previous calm and sanity. After thinking about it, Li Hao said: "If he doesn't really worry about what a real girlfriend is, I think the probability is still very high." ”
Lai Xi said: "I hope my brother can find me a good sister-in-law, and I also hope that our old family can have a successor." ”
Li Hao nodded and said, "Then we have to wait for the world to return to normal, girl, what you said is really subtle." If you want to do it, you can do it, whether it's to save the world, whether it's to cook in the kitchen, you don't know if you can do it until you do it. I don't have a big problem, but I don't have any superpowers, and it's hard for me to guarantee which step I can do. ”
Lai came to the excitement and said, "We don't have any superpowers, just do our best." If you do, you may not be able to save the world, but at least you can save yourself. And now, neither you nor Laixi are afraid of infection, which is a huge advantage. ”
Li Hao shook his head and said, "There is no advantage, and I am not sure if it is really not afraid of infection." Even if it is, the tide of zombies floods over, how much meat do we have enough meat for them? However, none of this matters, so let's start preparing if you decide. ”
